VAPOR-BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent.v

Patented July 18, 1916.

Application iiled December 22, 1915. Serial No. 68,290.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that SAMUEL E. KEENER, now deceased, late a citizen of the United States,

residing at Clay Center, in the county of.

for heating, cooking, and steam generating purposes and the objects are to provide a burner which will most completely consume the fluid and prevent the filling up of the passages and interfering with the free flow of such fluid.

In the accompanying drawings is illustrated a circular shaped burner, but it is proposed to vary the shape and structural details as may be found necessary but without departing from the mechanical principles involved.

The objects mentioned are accomplished by means of the construction hereinafter described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l is a plan view of the improved burner; Fig. 2, a verticalv sectional view 0f same; Fig. 3, a plan view of the inverted air-chamber and air-pipes combined; Fig.

,4, a perspective view of the removed deflector, and Fig. 5, a detail view in perspective of the deiiector in side elevation a quarter turn to that in Fig. 2.

Similar numerals of reference indicate like parts throughout the several views.

The burner consists of the base A, dome or cap B, and deflector C. The base is provided with a threaded opening, preferably through the bottom thereof, into which is tted supply pipe f connecting with stubtube a which is covered by deiiector C provided with projection e extending into the opening in tube a. Theprojection e is provided with lateral ribs or lugs-le le and t Z continuingat right angles on under surface of the deiiector C. These ribs or lugs, of course, could be attached as well to the inside and top of stub-tube a. One pair of the horizontal ribs, as j j, on oppositesides of the deflector, are made somewhatl wider vertically than the complement pair, as z' e', and as the deflector rests upon the wider ones, the action of the iiuid passing the deflector causes it to slightly rock, thus by agitation keeping the passage through tube 'a and the under surface of the deflector free from the accumulation of sediment. For convenience and .economy of construction the air-pipes c e c e are cast integral with the dome or cap B. Each of the air-pipes opens into the air-chamber m. Through the base A are holes opening into the air-pipes and through these holes .and pipes e e e e the intensity of the flame is controlled by reguv with a T joint t and each connecting pipe provided with a valveg by means of which either fluid may be supplied or cut oftl as desired.

What is claimed as new is, A burner of the class described comprising a base provided with an opening therethrough through which to supply fuel to said burner, means for supplying fuel through such opening, a deflector supported above said opening and resting upon ribs or lugs placed on opposite sides of the under surface of said deflector whereby the defiector is permitted to rock thereon, an airchamber above said deflector, air-pipes connecting with said air-chamber, the opposite ends of said. air-pipes communicating with openings through said base, `and means for supplying air to said pipes.
